determining a second impression count for the second advertisement that reflects a number of opportunities made available to users to perceive the second advertisement within the online environment;
determining a relative effectiveness measure for the first advertisement based at least in part on the first comparative value and the first impression count;

Abstract
In general, the relative effectiveness of different advertising content may be determined by determining comparative values to be associated with a first and second advertisement that has been rendered in an online environment, wherein the comparative values reflect user activity related to online interactions with the advertisements. An impression count may be determined for the advertisements that reflect a number of opportunities made available to users to perceive the advertisements within the online environment. Relative effectiveness measures for the first advertisement and the second advertisements may be determined based at least in part on the comparative values and the impression counts to enable comparison of the relative effectiveness measures for the first and second advertisements.
